Colt International Ltd - Luxury Hotel chooses Colt Caloris
Colt International’s WRF (water refrigerant
flow) air conditioning system, Colt Caloris, has been
installed in the impressive five-star hotel development,
Luton Hoo. Just ten minutes from Luton Airport, this
Grade I listed stately home is being lovingly restored
by Elite Hotels to provide 144 luxury rooms in glorious
17th century surroundings. The Colt Caloris was chosen
for its versatility and high performance, necessary for
a restoration project that requires sympathy for the
magnificent building as well as the ultimate in modern
creature comforts.
Colt provided two separate Caloris systems, one for the
Garden Wing and the other for the Orangery, which
comprise horizontal units of various sizes for each
room, plus five external units. The Colt Caloris is
ideal for hotel applications as the system uses water to
connect each unit, so only a small amount of refrigerant
is used. This negates the need for a costly refrigerant
leak detection system and means that the system is not
affected by the requirements of the F-Gas Regulations.
If required, the Caloris system can easily be linked to
a ground source heat pump at a later date.
For the guests, who will expect nothing but the best
from this exclusive hotel, the units are highly energy
efficient with a very low noise level. Each room will be
fitted with its own simplified controller, ensuring
occupants enjoy the ultimate in comfort. Colt Caloris is
also much more adaptable than traditional VRF (variable
refrigerant flow) air conditioning systems, since each
unit works independently. If there is a problem, it can
be localised, whereas unit failure with VRF can lead to
a complete system fault.
Built in 1767 for the 3rd Earl of Bute, the house stands
in more than 1,000 acres of listed parkland and gardens,
including an 18-hole golf course. Over the years, Luton
Hoo has played host to many important visitors,
including Winston Churchill and the Queen. Luton Hoo is
due to open its doors to guests in autumn this year.
